Sorry about that post. I was working and trying to post at the same time. It was my intention to run spell check but I was too hasty. FWIW, I recognize that my English is not the best.
I have to agree with many replies to this post. "User Education" is a flawed process. We (IT professionals) expect users to have general knowledge of security concepts and common sense. But at the end of the day we have users that have ID's for online banking, email accounts, work, and anything else you can think of. Chances are the ID/password combinations are not the same and therefore are recorded for remembrance. Now take security best practices and apply them to this scenario. Strong random passwords, password changes every 30 days, etc...etc.... What does this equation net? Non-compliance, it's too much darn work. So 85% of the users are using easy to remember passwords, not changing their passwords and recorded in some easily accessible location. I would love to see the top thinkers in the industry come up with a user friendly yet ultra secure solution and all of our lives would be better.
I believe that the Wii, PS3, and 360 all have their respective places in the video game industry.
Wii: Great for a different experience, easy for everyone to pick up and play, awesome for it's Virtual Console (my favorite part).
PS3: Blu-ray player is a bargain, HDMI out, cheap downloadable games.
360: Decent library, XBOX live is a great social scene, quality controllers.
BTW, I have the PS3 and Wii and love them both.

WOW! Finally an educated and well thought out post. I have the Wii and the PS3 and they both are great. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. Hats off to you sir. If you ever want to see some real sony haters try digg.com.
You seem very insightful on this matter. How do you think the PS2 pulled off 1080i with only 4MB of vram on Gran Turismo??? I have been waiting for someone to explain this to me.
Thanks,
Shaun

the source is ONEHUNGLO. But on a serious note. I feel for the Japanese because they are usually the guinea pigs for Nintendo and Sony.
